Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450℉ and place a large cast iron skillet inside.
2
Mix
3
Whisk together vegetable oil, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Set aside.
4
Slice
5
Cut cauliflower into 1-1.5 inch “steaks”, leaving the stem intact as much as possible to hold the big slices together. You’ll see in my step photos that I had to shave some off the sides so these steaks would lay flat in my skillet (and thus cook evenly!) but the shaved off florets turned into a 4th serving and the extra crispy bits were delicious!
6
Brush the cauliflower with the smoky seasoning mixture on one side and place that side face down in your hot skillet.
7
Baste
8
While the cauliflower is searing, before transferring back to the oven, baste the other side with remaining oil mixture.
9
Bake
10
Put the skillet back in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.

Then, flip the steaks and bake for another 15 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
